Converse Support for IE - converse.js

My company has been using Inverse for quite sometime. I normally download it from Ignite, but now Inverse has been replaced with Converse.
The new version of Converse does not have IE support.
Is there a version out there that will work in Internet Explorer?

Yes, version 3.3.4.
You can use the fullscreen version here: https://conversejs.org/3.3.4/inverse.html

How to know which version of CrafterCMS I am using?

Is there a way to know the crafter version from Studio Admin Console/Dashboard?
I am running CrafterCMS 3.0 on my local. But from the content admin's point of view, is there any way to know the exact version/build I am using?
There is a feature being added in support of this. It's under Help > About, but it's not there yet.
You can track progress on the feature here: https://github.com/craftercms/craftercms/issues/813
And here for the UI: https://github.com/craftercms/craftercms/issues/711
You can also try http://localhost:8080/studio/api/1/services/getInfo.json that will give you something like this:
{"version":"3.0.0-SNAPSHOT","id":"33ed8125aa029a8170ed11d9cee62b802f45cd38","uiId":"f5318d804d51eea2501fdf1bc832af4c2ba5e30a","buildDate":"2017-05-09T10:38:21-06:00"}
Note this also work for 2.5.x (since 2.5.6)

Can I still release a product with iText 2.1.5?

I can not find any link related with 2.1.5 from SourceForge. I wonder whether I can still use this version as a third party component in my product.
Any comment would be appreciated very much!
Sure you can. Search the web and you will find that version easily (e.g. here or here) It is a different question however whether you should still use that version. It is quite old and lots of bugs have been fixed and new functionality has been added. So do the following:
check the license restrictions (LGPL vs. AGPL)
if you don't have a problem with a GPL based license then use the latest 5.X version
if you can't use APGL buy a commercial license or use at least version 2.1.7
if you go the 2.1.7 route do some testing - in many cases it will do its job still fine. If not you'll probably have to fix it by yourself
Update: I would now use openPDF which is a maintained fork based on 2.1.7.

Using SPM5 with MatLab

I am trying to use SPM5, but I have the latest version of MatLab, which does not work with SPM5. The last version of MatLab SPM5 works with is 7.3. Is there a way to downgrade MatLab, or a quick way to port SPM5 over to the current version of MatLab?
I cannot use SPM8 because it does not have the Lateralization Index (LI) tool that I need.
First, have you tried using SPM5 with a more recent version of Matlab? The FIL website simply says that they cannot predict how SPM5 will run on versions after 7.1, not that they are incompatible. I have personally used SPM5 with R2008b (7.7) for years without a problem.
Second, versions after R2008b/7.7 deprecated the call finite() in favor of isfinite(). This caused SPM5 to stop working. I was able to use SPM5 with R2010b (7.11) by replacing all calls to finite() with isfinite(). I don't know if this same strategy would work for more recent versions of Matlab, but it might be worth a shot.
Third, I do know that different versions of Matlab can be installed at the same time. So, if you have a maintenance agreement that allows you to obtain older versions of the software you should be able to install them concurrently without a problem.
If you have a licence for MATLAB that is in maintenance, you have a licence for all previous versions of MATLAB. You should be able to download any recent version by logging on to your MathWorks account. If you need an older version than is available via the website, or have difficulty accessing the version you want, contact MathWorks support directly.

Does Chrome browser support GWT 2.5?

I've recently gone through the following link:
https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/release-notes#Release_Notes_Current
There's a point under title : Breaking Changes and Other Changes of Note
GWT no longer supports ChromeFrame. The implementation caused more bugs than it solved.
Does this mean that Chrome browser won't support GWT 2.5? Or am I misunderstood? Can anyone explain this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT Google confirms an error in the release notes: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-web-toolkit-contributors/wzilCaLySCU/aYMwD2zzOrsJ
This is probably related to http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6665
Technically, there should be nothing special to support ChromeFrame (which is not the same as Chrome, so to answer your question: yes you're misunderstanding that statement from the release notes).
Actually, I believe the release notes are wrong: GWT 2.4 had issues with ChromeFrame (actually, when it was installed but disabled), and this has been fixed in 2.5 (see link to issue above).
I'll get in touch with Google to know more about it and possibly have the release notes fixed (if the above is right). Edit: done (will contact some directly by mail if needed).
ChromeFrame is a plugin for Internet Explorer that uses Chrome's rendering and JavaScript engine instead of IE's equivalents. So this statement does not refer to the standalone Chrome browser (and it would be strange indeed if it did).
ChromeFrame is a plugin for other browsers than Chrome

Netbeans and Insubstantial

I recently saw that there was an approach to integrate the Substance LAF with Netbeans that was abandoned in 2008. Now, the active development is made within the Insubstantial - project and since 2008, a lot of advances where made.
Everytime i see an article about Substance (and/or Flamingo) and Netbeans, the authors are using an outdated version of Substance, but not the new Insubstantial libraries.
Does someone know how to use them with Netbeans? The standard way by just adding the --laf parameter doesn't seem to work and i guess there wouldn't have been the integration project if it's that simple.
My target is to use a self-written SubstanceSkin with my Netbeans Platform application.
Kind regards,
David
You can try using -Dswing.defaultlaf in netbeans.conf.
For example :
-Dswing.defaultlaf=org.pushingpixels.substance.api.skin.SubstanceBusinessLookAndFeel
Here is the documentation and the available skins.
